That’s when the special modellers shop.
The hobby shop staff know what’s coming; they brace themselves. The cowards call in sick, but the old hands just stand to the till and face the storm.
” Do you have this in 1/296th? Why not? “.
” I want the best kit. I’ve got $ 12. Hit me. “.
” My last kit had my fingerprints all over the canopy. You need to do better this time. “.
” I can get this cheaper from Kazahkstan. You need to sharpen your pencil…”.
” This is the wrong paint…”.
” Are these paint brushes? “.
” Is this locomotive official? “. ( Actually heard this one while waiting to pay for my kit. )
” My brother sent me here. He said you’d give me free samples “.
” Is this a hobby? “.
